Persona: Devil Summoner

Long Si reads a lot of comics, and when he saw this outfit, he blurted out this sentence.

If anyone doesn't know what the end of the century means, please search "Fist of the North Star" on Baidu.

Jiang Tianwei originally didn't think there was anything wrong with Shinjima's outfit, but after hearing what Long Si said, he couldn't help but be shocked: This is really an outfit from the end of the century, the only thing missing is a Mohawk!

Shinjima probably also read similar comics. When he heard what Ryuji said, his eyebrows raised under the mask: "Are you looking for a beating?"

“I dare not, I dare not…”

Although Shinjima still has only a vague understanding of the world here, although the number of enemies far exceeds his own, and although he is now trapped in the enemy's base camp... originally, this should have been a terrifying and dangerous scene... but unexpectedly, Shinjima only felt refreshed.

It’s like living in a shabby room that you haven’t cleaned for more than ten years, and suddenly everything in it is replaced with brand new. The feeling of joy is indescribable.

"Well, what the hell is that... Hey! You guys, are you here to eat for free?! Charge! No one will be spared! Kill! Kill them all except those good guys!"

Jin Cheng's forehead was throbbing with veins. He raised his voice to cover up his guilty conscience, and used the shadows of his subordinates to quietly move towards the door...

When Shinjima saw that he was about to run, her eyes almost burst into anger: "Jin-Jiu-Jiu-Jiu!!!" She twisted the handlebars of the motorcycle, and the motorcycle roared coldly, and rushed towards Jin-Jiu!

The red demons around Jincheng immediately formed a human wall and blocked the motorcycle of Shinjima. There is a famous line in a certain game: How can flesh and blood compete with a tank. If you replace the tank with a machine, it actually holds true most of the time.

Just look at how Shinjima's motorcycle easily hits the two evil spirits in front of him! Their bodies, which are much taller and more powerful than humans, are also knocked away by the powerful violence of the combination of speed and mass!

However, as soon as a hole was torn in the encirclement, another red demon came from behind to fill the position.

In reality, minions might become cowardly and scattered because their companions fell, but these evil spirits are Jincheng's subordinates, and in his personal understanding, these subordinates will never run away.

"Stop chasing! Now is not the time to chase! Even if we kill Jin Cheng here, it will be useless. What we need to do is steal his twisted desires!"

Amamiya Ren shouted loudly, asking Shinjima to stop chasing him. As he spoke, he did a beautiful backflip, and a steel sword swept across his position. In mid-air, Amamiya Ren pulled out a pistol and fired two shots, making two holes in the head of the red ghost who attacked him!

As expected of a legendary evil spirit, he did not die after being shot in the head twice, but the impact of the bullets still made him lower his head involuntarily. At this time, Amamiya Ren had already stepped on his broad back.

"persona! Nuyan!"

As Amamiya Ren took off his mask, a yellow and black beast flew out from beside him. It looked like a sitting tiger, but its neck had a circle of white mane like a lion, and a dark monkey-like face was hidden inside, which looked very funny.

From the fur color that resembles Pikachu, it can be inferred that this little thing is good at lightning. It made a loud and strange cry, and suddenly there was a flash of lightning. The yellow and white lightning was like a sharp blade, easily hitting the surrounding red ghosts, causing them to twitch all over, their skin and flesh were charred, and they emitted a burnt smell.

Although these red ghosts did not die on the spot, they immediately saw a yellow-faced, heavily-armored man jumping out from the side. It was the guardian heavenly king "Dhritarashtra" summoned by the Heavenly King! The strong man swung the sword in his hand, slashing out several silver light tracks, and knocked down all the red ghosts that were pierced by the arc and were in a paralyzed state.

The sword clearly contained a powerful force to destroy demons. The red flesh cut by the blade quickly turned black and carbonized as if poisoned, and disappeared into the air.

The evil ghosts behind were about to fill in the gaps when they saw the purple-faced "King of Wide Eyes" writing something in the file in his hand. Suddenly, they heard thunder in the space. It was clearly an indoor environment, but there were black thunderclouds on the ceiling! There was a roar, and the lightning was like a sword, defeating the evil ghosts who were about to fill in the gaps.

"Everyone, it's time for a breakthrough!".

Amamiya Ren waved her right hand with the red glove and pointed to the door they had come from. The meaning was obvious: we should rush out the same way we came in!

"What about the battle plan?"

Shinjima asked.

"Haha, just one word, just do it."

Jiang Tianwei liked this simple and crude tactic the most. He snapped his fingers and rode on his motorcycle, with the wheels of flames burning. Shinjima sighed and asked a soul-searching question:

"Is this okay with you guys?!"

Chapter 183 Breakout

In the legends of various countries, we can always see the so-called invincible warriors. Whether it is Zhao Zilong who went in and out of Changban Bridge seven times, or Honda Tadakatsu who was known as the unparalleled warrior in the East and the best general in the Japanese Warring States Period, or Achilles who was invulnerable to swords and guns, etc., it can be seen that in the human subconscious, there is always a desire for legends of a one-man army.

So, is it so easy to be one man against a thousand?

It sounds difficult, but it is actually not as demanding as it sounds. Because if you have ever been in a group fight, you will know that even if it is one-on-one with 10,000 people, as long as the other side does not use weapons of mass destruction such as grenades and explosives, then basically the number of people who can get close to you and fight with you is only a small circle, no more than eight or nine at most.

In this situation, you don't need to be able to defeat thousands of enemies, you just need to be able to deal with the few people around you.

And now is the time when this can be best reflected.

The number of enemies was unknown, but there was no end in sight. A conservative estimate was that there were hundreds or even thousands of them. And the Phantom Thieves only had a few of them.

However, the ghost clan's huge and strong bodies became a disadvantage at this time.

Don't forget, this is the bank that Jincheng knows. Although it is spacious and bright, it is only relative to humans. These ghosts are much taller than humans, and they use long-handled swords, so they can't use them in such a place.

Gao Juanxing shook her wrist, and the long whip at her waist flew out of her hand, accurately hooking the neck of an evil spirit in front of her, and then she tore off her mask: "Carmen! Teach it some color!".

A passionate and unrestrained persona with red skin appeared behind Takamaki An. Following Takamaki An's command, a stream of blazing flames rolled along the long whip and ignited the target demon!

You know, any creature that is on fire and continues to suffer the pain of the flames biting its skin and burning its bones will instinctively wave its body around to try to put out the fire... The ghosts are no exception. The red ghosts on fire howled and roared, constantly hitting their bodies, trying to put out the fire with their broad palms.

But how could the flames be put out so easily? On the contrary, his waving movements spread the flames on his body to the evil spirits around him. The flames ignited the fabrics on their bodies, and the flames devoured their flesh, spreading panic all around them.

"You're all howling in agony because of the heat, it's really annoying, let me cool you down! - Goyouemon!"

Kitagawa Yusuke growled softly, and behind him, there was a persona named Go Yuemon who seemed to have walked out of a Japanese Kabuki play. He waved the pipe in his hand, and the exaggerated flower umbrella behind him opened and closed. In an instant, the air was filled with cold air like a knife blade, surrounding the panicked red demon.

Before the red ghosts had time to celebrate the coolness, they felt their hands and feet become unusually heavy. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that their bodies, which had been burning a moment ago, were now turning purple due to poor blood circulation. A thin layer of ice armor had wrapped around their bodies, taking away their body temperature.

These red ghosts waved their bodies awkwardly, trying to break the ice armor on their bodies. However, before that, a voice like thunder was heard in the air: "Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out of the way!!!!"

In mid-air, Ryuji and his persona Captain Kidd fell together. The not-so-huge ship easily overwhelmed the dying red demons around it and opened up a passage.

"Don't let them break through the gate!"

However, just as the passage was opened, someone in the ghost group shouted, and several red ghosts blocked the entrance again. Yu Gong Lian narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth under the mask involuntarily curled up:

"persona! [Flauros]!".

Following Amamiya Lian's summons, a figure slightly shorter than the red demon emerged. Its body resembled the legendary Xing Tian, ​​with no neck or head above its shoulders. In exchange, a leopard-like head grew in its chest, with shoulder blades extending upwards. At first glance, it looked like a shoulder structure like that of a robot in EVA.

But the difference between him and Xing Tian was that where his head should have been, there was a sword that was almost as big as him, right down to the handle.

This man is also one of the 72 Demon Pillars of Solomon. According to legend, he appears as a leopard-faced warrior and is said to have the ability to manipulate fire at will. But at this time, he did not show this. Instead, he used his strong and powerful arms to directly pull out the sword on his neck, holding it with both hands. With just one sword, he split a passage through the door that had just been blocked by the red demon!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the green-faced man summoned by Jiang Tianwei before, the guardian king "Zhangzhangtian", rushed forward with a Vajra staff in his hand. He swung the staff into a ball of golden light, which pierced through the evil ghosts. He shouted loudly, and swung his hands left and right. The Vajra staff forced the red ghosts on both sides into the corner and opened up a path!

"Excellent, President! Follow me! --Everyone! Follow us!"

As soon as Jiang Tianwei saw that there was a way out, he quickly led the charge. As the flame motorcycle was running, the rear wheel set off a flame! He immediately blocked the red ghosts on both sides from surrounding him.

Shinjima looked at the flames coming out of the rear of his car, and then recalled that he had indeed called him. After a little thought, he actually understood his intention! Shinjima also twisted the handlebars and rushed out with Jiang Tianwei.

Both motorcycles are not ordinary ones. One is used by the devil in hell, and the other is condensed based on human spiritual power. The flames bursting out of the hell motorcycle blocked the road. Behind it, persona Joan followed closely behind. The outside of the speeding car body was wrapped with a thick wind barrier due to the high speed, which just dispersed the flames spread by Jiang Tianwei!

The two of them worked together perfectly, one in front and one behind, and Jiang Tianwei left behind a wide fan-shaped flame. And Xindao Zhen dispersed the fan-shaped flame into two fire walls on the left and right, just blocking the red ghosts on both sides, but leaving a runway wide enough for people to run.

Upon seeing this, Morgana quickly transformed into a cat-cart, called on everyone to get on, and followed the path opened up by the two motorcycles, breaking through to the outside of the Golden City Castle.

Boom!

Jiang Tianwei's motorcycle smashed through the gate and sped towards the edge of the floating bank.

In the gray cognitive world, the flaming wheels flew up into the sky, like a meteor streaking through the night sky. Then, Niijima's motorcycle and Morgana's car flew out one after another...

At this time, the floating bank had already flown into the sky, and it was unknown how far away it was from the ground...

Jiang Tianwei braved the strong wind blowing in his face and activated the other world navigation APP. With a burst of black and red light, everyone's figures disappeared from Jincheng's familiar world.

Inside the bank, the frightened Jincheng Junya listened to the report from his subordinates and was almost angry: Why do you think he deliberately lured everyone to the VIP room? Just to poison them, he directly called "three hundred swordsmen" over, and he was just short of smashing the cup as a signal. And you told me that the target broke through so many red ghosts? !

"You good-for-nothings... Stay alert from now on! Those guys will definitely come back again!"

Chapter 184 The only weakness

Perhaps many people do not have an intuitive understanding and think that Japan has a small population and a small land area.

But there are two problems here. First, although Japan's population is not large, it is large relative to its land area. Second, although their land area is small, there are still a considerable amount of mountains, rivers and forests, so the area suitable for human habitation is even smaller.

In addition, this is true for any country: people like to live in relatively wealthy capitals. This directly leads to the fact that although everyone knows that Japan's population is not large, Tokyo is actually far more crowded than imagined.

Especially in places like Shibuya, it can be described as a sea of ​​people. Literally, there is a constant flow of people... plus the cold ethics of capitalism, there is even a joke that if you suddenly die of a heart attack on the streets of Britain, no one will care about you.

There were so many people in Shibuya right now, but suddenly several students fell to the ground, and it didn't attract anyone's attention.

Many people even left without even a glance. Going to work, to live, to do their own things. Others? None of my business.

Thanks to this, Jiang Tianwei and the others activated the APP to return to reality during the fall. Although everyone fell to the ground in a very embarrassing manner, it did not attract attention. Otherwise, it would have been on the news the next day: A group of high school students appeared out of thin air above Shibuya and fell collectively. Was it the recurrence of special abilities?

You know, there was a craze for supernatural powers in Japan. The reason why the characters of Pokemon, such as Brave and Alakazam, used spoons as weapons was because the supernatural masters in this trend often used bent spoons as a gimmick. If someone found out that a student could teleport, wouldn't that cause a lot of discussion? !

"senior?!"

Among these indifferent people, there was only one girl who was willing to look at everyone a little more. She had burgundy hair, a school uniform that was very pretty, and a face that was almost identical to Fang Zexia's...

"Junior sister Fangze... I thought you would fall to the ground too... Ah, could it be because of the wings?"

Shinjima touched his head and got up. He saw the leisurely Yoshizawa Sumire squatting beside everyone. He thought she was the Yoshizawa Kasumi with butterfly wings in the space he knew before.

Jiang Tianwei hissed and said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the secret base first."

————————————————————

The secret base was originally where Jiang Tianwei worked, but it was later half demolished. But because they hadn't figured out how to renovate it, it has been idle ever since. So to put it nicely, it's a secret base, but to put it bluntly, it's just a small house in the ruins. After so much time of cleaning, it finally feels like home.

"I'm so tired... I've never been so tired in these years as I am today..."

Niijima rarely showed his weak side, and collapsed on the table like a limp slime.

Takamaki An whispered to Ryuji, "I will never mess with her again... I feel like my arms will be ripped off..."

“Ah, with the president’s aura, I’m afraid he can’t really do it…”

Ryuji also responded quietly.

Shinjima barely raised his eyelids and said, "You guys know I can hear what you call whispers, right?"

"Ah, ahahaha? I, didn't say anything - I'm going to get a cold drink!!"

Long Si was very clever! He immediately volunteered to buy drinks.

Shin Niijima gave a self-deprecating smile and muttered, "No wonder the police couldn't catch the Phantom Thieves. Things in that world must be real... I never thought that I would become a Phantom Thief myself after tracking down the Phantom Thieves..."

While the president was talking to himself, Jiang Tianwei pulled Fang Zejin aside and asked her quietly: "Didn't you receive the message I sent you before?"

Yes, before deciding to take Shin Niijima to the other world, Jiang Tianwei sent a message to Sumire Yoshizawa, asking her if she would come, but it has remained unread until now.

Fang Ze Jin smiled awkwardly and said: "Well, to be honest, my phone is in a bad condition. It won't turn on from time to time. I was in gymnastics class just now and didn't take my phone with me, so I didn't pay much attention to it - is there something important?"

"Ah, nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you can come. Your phone is really useless like this, I'll take you to buy a new one next weekend."

"Well, I'll leave it to you, Senior!"

Watching Fang Ze Jin nodding with a smile as beautiful as a flower, Jiang Tianwei vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something... To be specific, it seemed that he had made an agreement with someone before, saying that we should buy something together?

(Well! Never mind! The fact that I forgot something shows that it’s not an important matter!)

Jiang Tianwei thought so optimistically and secretly glanced at Niijima Makoto again.

She was still complaining to herself, and seemed to notice Jiang Tianwei's gaze. She looked back, propped herself up with her arms, and asked him, "What's wrong with me?"

"Well, nothing much. I was just lamenting the unpredictability of life. You've been tracking down our Phantom Thieves several times before, but now you've become an accomplice yourself."

"Indeed. A member of the Phantom Thieves of Justice? That sounds good."

Shinjima smiled, then looked at Sumire Yoshizawa and said, "I didn't expect that Yoshizawa-kun is also a member of the Phantom Thieves. Should I call you senior as well?"

Here I need to explain a little about the peculiarity of Japan. The general understanding in Japan is that the relationship between seniors and juniors is based on the order of seniority, which is one of the reasons why many middle-aged Japanese are reluctant to resign. No matter how many years of work experience you have or how old you are, as long as you join the company one day later than the 20-year-old young man, you have to call him senior and bow and scrape.

Facing the teasing from her senior, Sumire Yoshizawa quickly shook her head and said seriously: "No, I'm just a newcomer. We are peers!"

"I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously."

Jiang Tianwei tried to smooth things over with a smile, and Shinjima Shin also smiled: "It seems that Junior Sister Fangze's personality is a little different in the space she knows and in reality."

"Hmm? Have I met Senior in the acquaintance space?"

"Wasn't it just now?"

It is obvious that Shin Niijima has not studied the story of the Yoshizawa sisters and does not know that they are twin sisters.

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Yoshizawa Sumire quickly smiled and said, "President, the person you saw should be my sister."

"Sister? Eh? Then, then, didn't she come out of the familiar space with us just now?!"

Shinjima quickly counted the number of people present again, and found that no matter how he counted, there were two missing (Ryuji went to buy drinks).

"Ah... ahahaha, this is hard to explain..."
